pardon me,
for my extremity.

Flashes of fathers beating up their children and husbands venting their anger on their wife came into my mind when I woke up from my nap. I curled on my bed while my player adores Vienna. As always, the lyrics reminded me to slow down in my life and to ponder on things that is happening in this world.

I never understand how a father can bring themselves to inflict pains on their children, whose flesh and blood comes from them. What I'm not saying is that they can't discipline their children, there must be a limitation to it in every disciplinary actions. The discipline should not go beyond of demoralising their morals, self-esteem and whatsoever. And for husbands, how can they bring themselves to vent out every anger in them to their wife, whom they love and have made them their legal wife? Usually, they resort to violence; causing bruises to be left on the body of their wife. I read on news before and have seen on TV dramas before. Don't it hurts them to see their love ones crying for pain, for mercy, for help?

If you'd read Saturday's TODAY, you would have read on the article "Cheap Sex draws youth to Bintan". It got me into thinking of the world today. My instilled mentality was that guys/man who seek for prostitution were around the age of 35 and above. But this article woke me up, that even guys aged 22, have started visiting prostitution. Don't we all know that virginity in us is important? Why do we have to tarnish it? Why do we only seek for temporal things and to satisfy that moment of lust rather than practicing self-control within us? This article put me on guard towards men. Don't ever judge their character by their look. Understand the intricacy within.

I believe that the images a father potrays to their daughter influence them a lot. To their whole mentality towards guys; the guys they will marry; all the characters and personality they possessed. Girls will probably marry guys with the attributes found in their father or attributes they wish their father could bring out, but didn't. You know, if a daughter was brought up in a family full of violence between the parents or a father who couldn't care less for the family, most probably, they would wish their husband to have responsiblity and someone who is secure. On the contrary, girls who are brought up in a very pampered, very loved family, they would wish to get a husband who will love them wholeheartedly. Of course, there are more to all the above.


Davin says I'm weird in thinking. I believe. Maybe because too much of staying at home develops my thinking in a weird way. But no, I wasn't a abused child before. I grew up in a healthy and loved family! :D And I thank God for that.
